Ethics in the digital workplace
Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
MTVA, an umbrella organization for the Hungarian public media outlets, plans to dismiss 177 employees by the second quarter of 2015. The layoffs will affect 146 workers in Budapest and 31 workers in Pécs and Szeged. The unions have rejected the plan of a collective dismissal as they argue that the planned redundancies are not about saving money (as there have been simultaneous job creation measures).
